*Keep in mind that the Gospel interactions given in these updates is but a taste of our LORD’s work in this country of beautiful people. It’s not always feasible to make record of these divinely inspired exchanges. So this is a taste.
Praise God that yesterday the second order for a fresh supply of the JESUS tracts in Spanish were put in here! If you wish to help fund that, go here to Support which takes seconds. I will be picking up the new supply on Monday.
This is the phase of momentum, increase, of excitement! Yesterday and today have been field days! (John 4:34-38) What has been happening lately, as by the good hand of our God, is that I’ve been meeting a few born again disciples. Immediately upon beginning to minister to them, they joyfully exclaim to me that they are saved!!! So as we fellowship I’ve been asking them if they desire a stack of these JESUS tracts to pass out and they always say yes. So, this is the proliferation, the way our LORD’s Gospel begins to spread exponentially – person to person. This is what happened in Acts with the travels and ministries of the apostles and deacons (Stephen, Phillip etc.).
The What’s Next book is now translated into Spanish and will be available soon. Stay tuned. This will be the third of the ministry’s books in Spanish. Your prayers and support make this and every part of this Great Commission ministry outreach possible. EVERYTHING we do, by God’s grace, will always contain, will always spearhead with THE WORD of our God. Isaiah 55:11; 1 Peter 1:23
Jorge owns a nice shoe store. I went in to ask him a question which led to a lengthy visit. Immediately upon receiving a copy of the JESUS tract, Jorge smiled and told me he is a born again Christian. He told me that he was an angry sinful young man and was confronted by an American Christian on the streets of Puebla, Mexico one night and repented and received Jesus. He’s been walking with Jesus for 42 years now. We exchanged information and he was sent the Authentic and Moments books in Spanish on pdf. We discussed also the possibility of him allowing me to give him a supply of the JESUS tracts to pass out, etc. | More Ministry Updates Here
You may remember how we’ve been ministering to Fernando. Well, he found me again today and was blessed to receive more help, including a hot lunch from a local family vendor and some money to get a haircut. Jesus is showing His love to Fernando and may God be praised for your prayer for him.
Another man who has received repeated ministry, food, clothing, etc., also receive the pair of shoes he recently requested as his shoes were out of business if you will. YOU make this possible. | Support
T’was blessed to meet a dear man named Antonio who gladly received extensive ministry. WHEN Antonio was told that you would be lifting him in prayer, his face lit up. Antonio is a very distinguished gentlemen here in Mexico. After receiving a thorough ministry of the Word of God, he fully agreed and was so very appreciative and especially ecstatic to know that you were going to lift him in prayer. Knowing you love the LORD Jesus, are about His business, and desire to see saints fed and lost souls saved, I informed Antonio you’d lift him in prayer in Jesus’ name. Being that I don’t speak the whole language of Spanish yet, I was unable to discern if he is already saved, which is rarely the case here due to the Gospel not being preached here much – till now. GOD knows what he needs, right? Why not just pray according to Colossians 4:12, right? Boom.
When God’s people pray in the name of Jesus Christ, God answers those prayers and also makes the heart of His people to be filled with His joy (John 16:23-24; Philippians 1:19).
Jesus is King.

Mario and Veronica have been married for 68 years. They gladly received the Gospel of Jesus Christ at length today and when I shared with them that American Christians would be praying for them, they were very glad to hear that and actually bowed their heads and grabbed my hands to pray for them right there on the spot. And we did. Thank you for pausing to ask God to save this couple. They have the JESUS tract and had the Gospel of Jesus preached to them today and shown the prayer on the back to repent and be saved.
Exactly where you are is part of “all the world.”
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Mark 16:15-16
Also, Jesus gives His Gospel as an ultimatum. Is Jesus intending that we bring the hearers of His Gospel to a decision? Seems like it. Read the passage again.
This precious woman received God’s love in the form of the spoken Word in her language, some coin, and a Jesus tract. You made this possible. Team Jesus!
“WE (plural) are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9
The more I read God’s Word, the more convinced I am that the Heaven bound remnant are known in that they are about the “Father’s business” – the Great Commission – and not their own (Luke 2:49). They have laid down and are forsaking their own lives in this fleeting world in their supreme love for Christ Jesus (Acts 20:24). Anyone claiming to be Christ’s and not doing, participating in the Great Commission command … clearly reveals that they are in need of repentance, before it’s too late. Jesus is not their “first love” – which means they are committing spiritual adultery on Christ, the Great and coming Bridegroom (Revelation 2:4-5). Repent and obey Him or perish.
Mr. Ramone was informed that YOU will be lifting him in prayer. He was glad to hear that. This gentleman received the Word of our LORD spoken to him in Spanish, a Jesus tract, and some coin – all compliments of Christ via His beloved body.
“WE are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:58
“1 Corinthians 15: 58. This verse is for all of us who labor for the Lord. We are to be unshakable. Letting nothing move us from the hope of the gospel. We are servants of Christ ever ‘abounding in the work of the Lord’ Abounding in the furthering of the gospel. Our labor ‘in the Lord’ will be rewarded. Yesterday the Lord gave me a small reward seeing that man sitting on his porch reading the Jesus tract. And since we are laborers together it is a small reward for all of us! We, each member of Christ’s body, the world over, are team Jesus! And He is our eternal reward! We shall be with Him forever in the New Jerusalem!” Karen Cochran
Michael is homeless. He received a warm meal from a local family owned restaurant, a cold water, a JESUS tract and the spoken Word of God.
Billy: This man was informed that you were going to be praying for him. He loved that. When Billy walked in with this shirt on, it was an easy natural lead in to minister the One who saves and fuels our souls – JESUS. Billy readily received the preaching of the Gospel and a copy of the JESUS tract. It was a fruitful exchange to say the least. God is good.
Javier received the love of our LORD in the form of the spoken ministry of the Word of His Gospel, a copy of the JESUS tract, and some coin. God is good. | More Ministry Updates Here
“Thank you for caring for the beautiful people of Mexico. AMEN . The mission Fields are Ripe for the Harvest of precious souls but the Workers are Few. All Glory to God. Thanks for answering God’s call brother Todd.” Barbara Kuks
MESSAGE:
“Well folks it’s getting about that time that I go to different countries and spread Jesus because few are learning here. There are tender hearts all over the world that need Jesus and someone who will go to them not worried about riches.” Cindy Barker
REPLY:
THIS IS exactly the sense I’ve been getting since coming to Mexico 4 months ago!!! The receptivity is off the charts here as compared to the gainsaying hardened western world! Thank you for sharing. 100% agree. Acts 8:4 comes to mind. After Pentecost, when there was persecution in Jerusalem, we read: “Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word” (Acts 8:4). Is this exactly where we are in America?
To sister Cindy’s point….. If you begin talking to one person about Jesus and give them a Gospel tract, the other person or people who hear are listening and they look at you with a “Can I have one of those Gospel tracts also” looks. Unreal. To say these fields are “white unto harvest” is the way Jesus coined this (John 4:34-38)! In fact this is exactly what happened with the couple pictured below.
CAUGHT RED HANDED!!!!
THIS AFTERNOON (see picture below): So I stopped and ministered extensively to this precious man, and his wife was helping a customer but was listening to every word I spoke. The Word ministered to this man was our LORD’s Gospel. Gave him a JESUS tract in Spanish. A while later I walked back by their store (that they own) and she was devouring every word of the JESUS tract. I told them how beautiful a family they are in Spanish. They were stricken with joy! SMH at how deeply hungry people are for their LORD JESUS!!!! So I stopped again and ministered more to both of them and as usual showed them the prayer on the back and exhorted them to stop their their life and repent and receive Jesus and He will instantly wash away all their sins! Somebody say Luke 24:47 boom!
Jesus is coming saints – let’s roll!
Barbara Kuks writes:
“Indeed! Even in Mexico, hearts are longing for Jesus. We have a huge mission field there and in other countries! Todd Tomasella has been sharing the Gospel there and many have received the Good News with gladness and joy.“
THERE is no work, no activity transpiring on the earth that is even important in contrast to the eternal work of our Father and Savior to feed, nourish, and equip His saints and win lost souls. The Great Commission command of Christ is in full force and His remnant saints are obeying Him and doing it. See Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 24:47; book of Acts, etc..
Please share.

Are You a Follower of Jesus and Considering Moving to Mexico? [podcast]

Could the LORD be shaking off the dust of His holy feet against America?
“And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.” Matthew 10:14
HAPPENING NOW:
Just handed a tract to a man named Ruben. He said “Thank you. I’ve been searching and was thinking of visiting the JW (Jehovah Witness) church near me. Thank you.” Then a conversation ensued. He was informed that that JW and Mormons are cults. Ruben was given the law to convict, and saving Gospel, and exhorted to pray in repentance today and receive Jesus for the remission of his sins. He was told by way of testimony and the Word that Jesus is exactly Who he was looking for.
We exchanged numbers and will be meeting again soon. Please pray for this man. He’s in ripe mode if you will….. ready to repent and receive Jesus, Heaven’s Treasure, Salvation! Would you like to pause and lift Ruben in prayer?
*** Saints, as your brother in Christ, let me encourage you to dare pray something like this today if you are inclined: “Dear LORD, I am all Yours. You created me. You came and died for me. I am Yours. Please put me on Your planet, just exactly where You want me, and use me dear LORD! In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Saints the JW and Mormon cults are here in Mexico. There are few if any Christian missionaries. “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few.”
“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:35-38
I don’t believe any American would regret moving to this great country. The peace and tranquility are off the charts. If you need someone to talk to, let me know.
One thing is certain, you will be immediately spoiled by the preciousness of the Mexican people and their acceptance of the message of Christ! You will minister to no one who won’t say “gracias.”

“Love this Jesus Tract! The other day, at the home we minister in (retirement home), Tom asked me to read this to the people as they usually follow along. Half way through it the reality of what Jesus did for me and all of us, on the cross hit me and the tears began to stream down my face. I could no longer read it. This tract is so filled with the truth and how much God loves us, even in spite of how wicked we are, how could anyone not be convicted?” Karen Cochran
“As this sanctification process happens in our hearts we will see more and more of Christ’s light shining in our hearts. Proverbs 4:18: “But the path of the just is the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” As we surrender daily, as we die to ourselves, as we die downward and are buried with Christ, Jesus’ resurrection life (newness of life) will shine brighter and brighter in our hearts! Until that perfect day when we shall be taken up into glory to be with our Savior forever. Then God’s glory will fill our hearts and the heavens! Until now let the Daystar arise in our hearts each day so His light can shine forth into this lost world. We are to be the light shining Christ’s light into this broken and dark world! Jesus alone is the Answer! His resurrection light! Glory hallelujah!” Karen Cochran
FEEDBACK
Francisco repented and received Jesus! As our LORD would have it, our paths crossed by divine ordination. Francisco was preached to and gladly received a Jesus tract. Upon showing him the prayer of repentance and faith on the back, he immediately raised his hands to pray. It caught me off guard, in a good way, and so he was instructed to pray in repentance and faith… as he was led, and he did, out loud, acknowledging that he has sinned against God and then calling on our LORD Jesus to forgive, save, wash away his sin.
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. … 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13
Beloved Francisco was showed and encouraged to download the Reina Valera Spanish Bible onto his devices and wake up to seeking God in His Word and prayer first thing each morning (Matthew 6:33). He was given the idea also of reading the Proverb of the day each morning.
This continues to happen here with these precious people. They are so hungry for Christ and only need someone to show, to lead them to Him. Several times when instructed to go home and pray in repentance and faith, they overtly lift their hands and hearts and begin praying right on the spot – which demonstrates that they’d been waiting eagerly to hear the message of Christ’s Gospel!
“HOW shall they hear without a preacher?” Romans 10:14
Ensuing his repentance toward God and faith toward our LORD Jesus (Acts 20:21), the discipleship began. We’ve already been communicating and he’s got the Born Again book in Spanish with three more of the ministry books which will be sent to him this week.
The life being lived with any other purpose except to please God and serve others, is a wasted, hell bound life.
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Psalms 90:12
“Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” Ephesians 5:16
Remember, flights back and forth from Texas to Mexico are only a 2-3 hour flight.

Articles
Is Romans 7 Before or After Paul’s Salvation?

“The truth is that while Christ dwells in the believer’s new nature, He has strong competition from the believer’s old nature. The warfare between the old and the new goes on continually in most believers.” AW Tozer
The law of God is “holy, and just, and good.” (Romans 7:12)
The holy law of God and the depraved nature of fallen mankind could not be further apart – the righteousness of God inherent in His law vs the “old man,” the iniquitous fallen nature of mankind (Ephesians 4:22; Colossians 3:9).
Nothing but a caustic reaction, explosion could be the result of the 2 colliding (Romans 7). One or the other must reign.
“For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.” Galatians 5:17
In what tense did the great apostle speak in when addressing this “old man” that wars against the Spirit in us?
“O WRETCHed man that I am! (presently) who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” Romans 7:24
Paul’s flesh was and our flesh is a constant reminder of the ever momentary need for the cross, burial, and resurrection grace of Jesus (Romans 6:3-10; 8:11; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20, etc.). Read Romans chapters 6-7 each morning this week.
“For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.” Romans 7:18
No, the apostle wasn’t admitting to living in sin but rather that that “old man” – the flesh – was present and must be crucified with Christ daily. Is that not exactly what Jesus taught?
“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his CROSS DAILY, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.” Luke 9:23-24
I believe Romans 7 applies to both before and after one is saved …. Because if the saved person departs from the daily cross walk, that same “old man” will take center stage. “O wretch man that I AM (present)” (Romans 7:18) ….. we are born again children of God, saints of the Most High and yet that potential to evil, that “old man” must be crucified and “put off” by the daily cross so the “new man” can reign with Christ in this life and eternity. What Paul calls the “old man” must be “put off” and so we can conclude that there IS an “old man” to be “put off” otherwise no such instruction would have been given. We are not to deny the “old man” – the sinful bent – but rather to crucify it (Romans 6; Ephesians 4:22; Colossians 3:9).
Charles Pray writes: “So many want to hide their sins, especially those who like to appear Holy on the outside while inside they are dark, unholy ministers of the flesh. They have become a product of their own desires. Dear Lord, please bring them back to their first Love–Jesus! Amen.”
Saints, we cannot possibly begin to appreciate this “so great salvation” that is Christ until we understand how lost, helpless, and alienated we were in our sin (Ephesians 2:1-10; Hebrews 2:3). We must study to understand the biblical doctrine of inherent sin, fallen mankind, and the holiness of God …. in order to begin to be able to appreciate the redemption that is in Jesus Christ.
What to “Put Off” and What to “Put On”
“That ye put off concerning the former conversation THE OLD MAN, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on THE NEW MAN, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” Ephesians 4:22-24
“Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off THE OLD MAN with his deeds; 10 And have put on THE NEW MAN, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:” Colossians 3:9-10
“When we embrace the crucified life we are given overflowing rivers of new life! New life is breathed into us. Walking in the flesh only makes our soul sick with sin! And sin kills and destroys! (Romans 6:23). Rotting us from the inside out! But the way of the cross brings life to our flesh! (Proverbs 3:8, 4:22). Our flesh meaning our whole spirit, soul and body. 1 Thessalonians 5:23. We cannot be a whole person until we are completely given over to the Lord! And this can only happen through the cross. When we are dead and buried and raised up in the newness of life Jesus offers us, then the joy of the Lord will fill our hearts!” Karen Cochran
